Quirke Tailings was the destination today as Astrid led a group of thirteen hikers along the north end of the tailings ponds. The sunshine bouyed our spirits as we hiked along the almost snow free gravel roadway. No elk this year, but we did spot some sandhill cranes. PHOTOS

Esten Lake, April 7, 2014
Commentary and photos by Donna C.
A group of 6 hikers led by Gayle enjoyed the warm sunny day by hiking on the trail behind Frame Crescent to Esten Lake. Walking on the trails were no problem due to snowmobile travel on them. We had a leisurely lunch near the shore of Angel Lake. PHOTOS

Angel & Crystal Lakes, April 5, 2014

Five of us showed up for what turned out to be a perfect snowshoe outing. With the fresh snow from yesterday weighing down the trees and the brilliant sunshine it was such a beautiful day. I'm ready for spring, but I'm glad we had a day like today, it was special. PHOTOS

McCarthy Falls, April 3, 2014
Commentary by Ron T. Photos by Nickie J.
Ron led a group of five seasoned hikers to McCarthy Falls today; the weather was perfect allowing what maybe the last time we snowshoe this season. The hike into the falls didn't seem as difficult or as long as the return portion of the hike due to the rise in temperature. The snow became heavy and slushy and we had to strip down to cool off. All in all it was a great hike & good company. PHOTOS
